Hurray for Missoula, Montana which adopted the LGBTQIA Pride Flag as an official city flag, thus circumventing a state law which would have barred the flag from being flown on public property. Similar measures have been passed in Boise and Salt Lake City, for similar reasons.

"City Attorney for Civil Services Ryan Sudbury told the Missoulian that since the flag is an official city flag, it could be flown anywhere in the State of Montana."

The French government issued a report on transgender people in sports and here's some of their conclusions:

-Trans women who transitioned before puberty don't have a physical advantage over cis-women athletes;
-Before puberty there's no difference between boys and girls so let them play;
-If it's just for fun, not competition, who cares?
-A "Transgender" category's a smokescreen for discrimination.
